There is a lot to love about pot roast, but my favourite thing about it is that you can pull everything together in the early afternoon, get it in the oven, and then just go about your day, completely forgetting about it, with the exception of course of the occasional whiff of that wonderful aroma that will fill your […]

Spring Mix Salad
Originally published on October 28, 2014 As many of you know, I have an issue with salad. I love them! I love the simplicity of sitting down to a big bowl of refreshing veggies and walking away completely satisfied. But I really don’t like lettuce all that much (especially the mostly-useless Iceberg lettuce.) But, I’ve found a solution. […]
The Real Deal Alfredo
Originally published on November 1, 2014 In the past I’ve posted a couple of “faux” recipes for Alfredo sauce using sour cream and cream cheese. But what if you want the real deal? Real creamy Alfredo sauce that’s delicious and stays true to the way it’s actually supposed to be made? When that’s the case, you need to follow […]
Is Your Asiago Cheese Authentic?
Originally published on November 2, 2014 I first fell in love with Asiago cheese at the very first restaurant I cooked in. It was quite posh posh and we served a cheese plate that included Asiago cheese. I don’t know if I had ever tasted it before then, but I remember loving the distinct taste it had without […]
Pan Roasted Potatoes
Originally published on November 3, 2014 I love potatoes. They used to be the bane of my existence because Brent will only eat them certain ways, and I quickly tired of making them over and over. But he took a few steps out of his box, and I started figuring out that just by changing a few things, I could switch […]
Cream of Tomato Soup
Originally published on November 5, 2014 They’re calling for snow on Friday and when the days get cold like this, there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of tomato soup. Homemade tomato soup tastes nothing like the stuff that comes out of a can, and it’s super easy to make. When I made this cream of tomato soup, I […]
The Restaurant 3-Egg Omelette
Originally published on November 8, 2014 Omelettes used to be something that eluded me. I just could never figure out how to make them. I’d try to do it, and end up with a bunch of toppings mixed in with some scrambled eggs. I even got to calling it “Scrambled Egg Mess,” because I knew […]
The Perfect Mashed Potatoes to Solve Your Lumpy, Gluey Problems
Originally published on November 10, 2014 I’ve been asked a few times how to get the perfect mashed potatoes. They seem like such simple things, but perhaps they’re the reason Julia Child once said that “Potatoes are the most neurotic vegetable; you never know what they’re going to do.” After all, a simple thing like boiling potatoes and […]
Perogie Pasta Shells
Originally published on November 11, 2014 One of the best parts of being a foodie is having foodie friends that have great ideas that I would never come up with. This is one of those creations, posted to Facebook by my good friend Jaime, who’s also one of the most faithful followers of this site. This […]
Picante Sauce
Originally published on November 14, 2014 Did you know that picante sauce, salsa, and pico de gallo are all the basic same ingredients, just done in a different way? Pico de gallo is the chunkiest of them all, with fresh tomatoes simply chopped up and tossed with some lime juice, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos. Salsa is all of that, just the teeniest bit […]
